Okay folks, buckle up because I'm about to give you the CliffsNotes version of my month, and it's been a wild ride. Kat's been zigzagging across the East Coast like a pro, and I'm not just talking about my travel schedule, although that's been pretty crazy too. When we last spoke, I had just flown Smoosh to her new home in Phoenix, AZ, where she was greeted by her big brother Paxton, a Goldador with a heart of gold. I landed back in NY at the stroke of midnight on the 9th, and let me tell you, I was ready for some serious shut-eye. But no rest for the weary, I was up bright and early the next morning to pick up Remy from Muddy Paw Acres, who was off to live her best life with two gorgeous fur sisters in rural PA. And that was just the beginning. It was back to Muddy Paws on the 11th to pick up a gorgeous trio, all headed to new families within an hour of each other in MA. First up was Mickey, followed by the sweet Alfie, who's going to have a new little human to watch over - how exciting is that? Last but not least was Moose, who's got a feline sibling and two adorable boys to keep him on his toes. Monday the 13th, I was off and running again, this time to Kayla Pine Grove Goldens to pick up a sweet Golden and a Golden Mountain Dog, both headed to new homes in NY and PA. The next day, it was back to Kayla's to grab another sweet GMD, this one bound for MA. I rounded out the week with the tiny but mighty AppleJack, a spitfire of a pup who had a lot to say for himself, despite weighing in at just under 3 lbs. His new mama was over the moon for him. And finally, there was Penelope from Blessed Bassets in Ohio, who found her perfect match with a family who's going to love and cherish her. I had a last-minute cancellation, which gave me a chance to catch my breath before the next leg of my journey. Monday, I'm off to Louisiana, but first, I've had some much-needed family time - baseball with the grandson, a movie date with my resident Michael Jackson fanatic, softball games with the granddaughter, and a birthday celebration for my brother. Stay tuned, folks, there are many more adventures to come, and I'm just getting started.
